Anna M. Fink, 91, was born in Chicago – growing up on the East Side.
After earning her Masters in Nursing at the University of Chicago, she married Jerry Fink on May 10, 1958. While she worked at Michael Reese Hospital as a Pediatric Nurse, she and Jerry began a family, ultimately raising five daughters.
In 1970, the Fink family moved to the suburb of St. Charles, IL. Over the next 40 years she was a very active member of St. Marks Lutheran church where she considered many members her extended family. Her faith in Christ served to guide her steps throughout her life. Her favorite times were spent with people, whether she was making new friends or keeping the old, this brought her true happiness. She was always trying to make others laugh and feel welcome.
The last decade of her life was spent near her youngest daughter in Michigan where she resided at Woodland Terrace. True to form she continued to make new friends, often bringing a smile to others and kept staff guessing with her mischievous antics.
Anna is survived by her five daughters, Muriel Fink of Elgin, IL. , Judy Hitchcock (Greg) of Buford, GA., Laura Mihavics (Ken) of Elmhurst IL., Amy Fink of Milton-Freewater, OR., and Lisa Fink of St. Joseph, MI., her sister Mary Paul of Woodridge, IL , many nieces and nephews including her cherished niece, Julie Paul of Woodridge, IL. and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Anna was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters Viola and Grace, her brother Joseph and her husband Jerry.
A service to honor Anna’s memory will commence at 11:00 A.M. on Saturday, July 24, 2021, at St. Marks Lutheran Church 101 South 6th Avenue, St. Charles, Illinois 60174, with visitation starting at 9:30 A.M.

"I just learned of Ann’s passing today so please forgive my late response. Your mom was my first friend when I moved to st Charles in 1973. I knew no one and your mom took me under her wing and introduced me to a wonderful group of women from st mark’s who knew well how to serve God and others. I learned much from them and put those lessons into practice, teaching my children in the way they should go. When my second child was born, Ann showed up unbidden at my home and rescued me. I was struggling with breastfeeding and would have given up if it hadn’t been for your mom. Fast forward about 20 years later and God called me to start a homeless shelter in st Charles. Your mom showed up and pitched in, even serving on our board for a number of years. Everywhere she went she spread the gospel, and if necessary, she used words. I am retired and living in Florida but I haven’t retired from serving God and his people. Your mom taught me well and I wanted to make sure you knew that Darlene Marcusson"
